OC City Votes To Commission Charlie Kirk Mural

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA — An Orange County city is looking to commission a mural in honor of slain right wing activist Charlie Kirk.

The Huntington Beach City Council voted to establish an ad-hoc committee that will explore the creation of a tribute to Kirk and the principles of "freedom and speech" during a special meeting late September.

Councilmember Chad Williams will lead the committee alongside Councilmember Andrew Gruel and Mayor Pat Burns. The committee will be in charge of identifying a suitable site for the mural, according to the city.

Kirk, 31, a prominent Christian activist and founder of the conservative nonprofit Turning Point USA, was assassinated on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University.
